Students don’t know what they don’t know. This concept applies not
only to academics, but to learners in any environment. This means that
educators and developers are constantly developing resources that focus on what
they anticipate the learner needs. Adaptive learning technologies are now
providing the data that allows us to understand specific knowledge
deficiencies. This is not only changing the learning environment, but also the
process by which content is generated.

In this session, using data obtained from a large-lecture
university science education class, you will be shown how an understanding of
knowledge deficiencies is being used by the individual to personalize the
learning experience and in the classroom to flip the learning environment. You
will learn how the analysis of this data is leading to revisions of content
within the textbook, and allowing for the development of continuously updated
information. Ultimately, you will experience how data from a single learning
experience may be utilized across the entire learning ecosystem.
